Greetings from the Donetsk People's Militia soldier from Avdeyevka industrial zone for the year 2017. The front line position is located in the outskirts of Yasinovataya city, what has been 'hot spot' in the war in Donbass since beginning of March 2016, when Ukraine attacked over the 'gray zone'. Daily intense infantry fighting and constant Ukrainian shelling of Donetsk People's Republic has taken place there since then.

A soldier from the DPR People's Militia with the callsign "Dawa" conveyed New Year greetings and wishes to his family and the residents of the Donetsk People's Republic.
